SUMMARY:February 22\, 2025: Biodynamic Land Healing with Elisha Poulin
DESCRIPTION:Help Heal our Earth Through Biodynamics \nJoin Elisha Poulin for a one hour review of the theory and practice of biodynamics. Biodynamics is based off of Rudolph Steiner’s 1924 agricultural lectures and the work of Maria Thun and stimulates soil health and brings harmony to the land\, enlivening the area and providing healing forces from the cosmos. The principles of biodynamics can be applied quickly and easily\, or through deep and methodical practices. During this workshop\, Elisha will share her approach to biodynamics\, highlighting valuable ways we can contribute to the health of our Earth\, ourselves\, and the animals around us. Elisha’s hope is that attendees will come away with enough to be comfortable starting this practice. This program will focus on biodynamic preparations and the cosmic calendar. This workshop is intended for farmers\, gardeners\, and anyone who wishes to share in the beautiful practice of healing any piece of the earth\, small or large\, using biodynamics. \nElisha’s passions are all centered around anything to do with the health of the Earth\, ourselves\, animals and staying centered in love. She has been studying plant medicine and nutrition for the past 20 years. She is currently a studying/practicing homeopath\, biodynamic land healing consultant\, and a wellness coach. Elisha has been farming for the entirety of her life\, and practicing aspects of biodynamic farming for the past 5 years on her own as well as many others’ farms and properties. \nREGISTER
